  • As a result of a dream, Lehi sends his sons back to Jerusalem to obtain sacred records on plates of brass from a wicked religious and military leader named Laban. Laban refuses to give up the records and steals Lehi's wealth when Laman attempts to use it to buy the plates. Laman and Lemuel rebel and beat their younger brothers-until an angel appears and saves them. Nephi miraculously obtains possession of the plates by following the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Lehi and Sariah are grateful and delighted when their sons return with the plates, and Lehi immediately begins to study their contents.
    Based on 1 Nephi 3-5.

    As a Non-Mormon, Christian, I want to say that I greatly appreciate the work and effort that has gone into these quality videos. I have taken it upon myself to also study the Book of Mormon as I watch. I'm finding them to be accurate, well made representations of the book itself. Well done my Mormon Brothers and Sisters, very well done.

      So true. When reading the Book of Mormon, I certainly have a tendency to just think of Laman and Lemuel in a negative way, but they certainly did have their moments of wanting to be righteous. Like many of us, they felt the Spirit and knew what was right, but had a hard time keeping faith in the Lord.

      Jenna Young And they chose to go with the family. They could have stayed behind, the house and gold and silver etc was left behind, they could have had a life in Jerusalem without the family. People would understand why they didn’t leave. They didn’t believe in Lehi either. And They didn’t have to walk back to Jerusalem twice after leaving it. I think we’ll think differently about many in the Book of Mormon after these videos. And I think that’s a very good thing.. .... by the way I am SO looking forward to general conference next weekend.

    I have had so many spiritual experiences from reading, praying and pondering this marvelous book and that have helped me in numerous ways.
    Please don't think watching these videos will be sufficient to understand everything that is in that marvelous book. President Benson encouraged us to read it everyday and by doing this we will draw closer to him and feel his Spirit.

It helps you to understand he role in the family & that he truly was righteous. I also enjoyed seeing how Nephi's inner struggle to kill Laban even though the Lord commanded him to do it and the willing ness of Laban & Lemuel despite their hard hearted nature to cooperate with Lehi, Nephi and Sam to accomplish the mission of successfully obtaining the plates as well as the Sariah's struggles while her sons were away in Jerusalem.

      It’s interesting to me that, although Laman and Lemuel made an initial effort to follow the direction of their father, they never did pray to the Lord to find out for themselves if what Lehi asked them to do was a divine directive - but Nephi DID pray to know - and know he did! God couldn’t keep it hidden from him. We don’t know how long or how hard Nephi prayed to know, but he sought out the Lord to know for himself. The small and simple act of praying every day to know the will of God - to receive personal revelation - makes a great impact over time in every life. God bless!

    I love all the positive comments here and also really love the videos and how they portray the two paths that Nephi is going down and Laman is going down. It helps to understand Laman and many of us have a little Laman in us. He isn't wicked at this point but he just doesn't fully believe in in father and he really didn't want to leave his home, and life in Jerusalem. This is very well done and portrays Nephi really well. He was the younger brother not some ripped man but a youth. I also am glad we get to here from Sariah and see her faith grow in her husband but also her worry. She did not see what Lehi saw but had to have faith in him even if it might have cost her her children.
    My one concern which is minimal is Nephi mentions having sisters as well which are not shown. I get why because we have no record here of what they said or did. But It would have been nice to see them at least with the caravan. Now that being said these are great teaching tools and I am ever grateful for something more than just the living scriptures.

I love who I am and how I treat others because of the precepts that I have been taught. This makes me extra grateful for the comforts of the day and age in which we live.

      Jaefar SABNW I agree. Do not think that I think this video series is a substitute for the Book of Mormon, because I don’t. But I do think that it will make people want to read the Book of Mormon, which is true. Thus it will pave the way for many to come to know the truth and my comment still stands. That is unless I’ve misinterpreted your intention.

    • @WellandJoyceArtist
      @WellandJoyceArtist 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      francis Prowd I’m from Australia and I agree the accent is a bit cheesy. However, I don’t hate it. Should I hate the accent? Would you rather they spoke in ancient Hebrew with subtitles and thus alienate a group of people who don’t like reading subtitles? Would you rather they spoke in an English accent despite this being a church mostly comprised of Americans? I love America. I don’t dislike America. Should I dislike America? I don’t think I should. Those who dislike America may not like the church anyway because one of it’s ideas is that America was the ripe place for the church to grow because of its freedom of religion and freedom of speech. I don’t think the accent therefore will actually drive away that many people, and I don’t know why you find it to be such a problem.

    • @WellandJoyceArtist
      @WellandJoyceArtist 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Mike Dennis Obviously I disagree. Did you really come here just to shake me from my faith? If you think the Book of Mormon is false you are here only to do this. You would have very little other reason to watch the video. If that’s your goal it is a lost cause. I believe there is much evidence for the Book of Mormons truth, for example, many of the ancient Hebrew names in the Book of Mormon were thought to be non existent in Joseph Smith’s time, and most are not found in the Bible, and yet decades, in some cases centuries later, we find evidence of some of these names in the same geographical and temporal location as Lehi as he leaves Jerusalem. I really don’t want to argue with you I just want to point out there are actually very good reasons to believe the Book of Mormon to be true. I don’t think you will agree they are good reasons but I also don’t think you should downplay the beliefs of others as being unsubstantiated when they believe those beliefs are substantiated.

    • @WellandJoyceArtist
      @WellandJoyceArtist 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      francis Prowd I don’t understand your point. Are you really just making fun of me because I’m Australian? That’s just really immature, man. Also Jesus never “favoured” America, it was just a ripe spot for the church to grow. I understand now you don’t mind the VIDEOS having American accents, you hate the fact the Book of Mormon itself has ANYTHING to do with America. That seems pretty closed minded. “America bad, religion about America, therefore religion bad!” Like really, dude? The book is about ancient America, Joseph Smith happened to be in a place close in proximity to where the plates were buried. It’s actually not that unreasonable.

    This is a really great portion of the Book of Mormon on the screen. The part about it that I particularly enjoyed and felt completely embraced with was when the brothers went back into Jerusalem to get plates of brass. The characters of the brothers are the most powerful here, as you can see that they have brotherly appreciation as well as sibling rivalry. The characters of Laman and Lemuel were accepting, conflicted with other complexities that make this true story come across strongly in this adaptation. I particularly felt a great deal of compassion over the characters, especially when the angel appeared to the brothers.

Thank heaven for the Great Plan of Happiness, which offers hope to all human hearts and minds!!!!!!!! The Book of Mormon I read, study and have gained a testimony that it is true!!! Without God's aid, revelation, there is no way that the prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. Could have translated these records!!! Thank heaven for his faith, diligence, and works that brought this book forward to watmrn us of a fallen people and Christ fulfilling the prophecy that He gave while in Jerusalem, in John 10:16 "16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd."
